Many drivers won’t drive behind trucks since they obscure their vision ofthe lane. This invention isthe solution since the images onthe screen depict the lane infront ofthe truck. - If
trucks move slowly oremit smelly fumes ,drivers may opt to goaround the truck. Head-on collisions occur when drivers strike what is inthe lane with oncoming traffic. -
The screen will show drivers ifthere are objects inthe oncoming traffic lane or if it issafe topass the truck. -
The screen adapts toboth light and dark driving conditions. -

Watching the images onthe truck’s screen can easily distract the driver. While you are driving, your eyes scan the periphery ofthe road. If ascreen with images on it is infront ofthe driver, the driver might focus onthe screen and not the rest ofthe road. -
Since the purpose ofthe truck is tomake passing on atwo-lane road safer, itmay beuseless on amulti-lane highway. -
The cost, still unmentioned bySamsung, islikely to be soexpensive itmight not come into frequent use. Although currently not onthe market, Samsung is now workingwith governmental agencies toadvance their new invention.
